Helping Diligent Advisors Ensure They're On The Right Planning Path

College Resources: College Funding Checklist & 529 Plan Distribution Rules Flowchart


Resource Additions, Announcements

We are excited to release both a checklist and a flowchart this month.  This month, we have a theme! Both resources are related to paying for college. 

For Essential and Deluxe members, here are the two resources being released today:

What Issues Should I Consider To Fund My Child’s College Education?: This checklist covers 21 planning issues to identify and questions to ask a client who is thinking about how to fund college for a child.

Is The Distribution From My 529 Plan Taxable?: This flowchart covers the issues related to 529 plan distributions.  There are several questions to ask a client to ensure there won’t be any unexpected tax surprises for the client.

What do you think of these two new resources?  Send me an email – I’d love to hear your thoughts.

What Customers Are Saying About Us

Hundreds of other advisors are actively using fpPathfinder. Read what those lovely people have to say about us.
“Thank you for creating a robust, yet very practical, planning tool.”
— Andy, an advisor in Florida
“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
— An advisor in Texas
“I love your resources, you guys & gals have helped us take our practice to the next level!”
— Trevor, an advisor in California
“The flowcharts have helped a lot in recent discussions with the changing markets, providing us with confidence that our clients are getting the best, most accurate information.”
— Matthew, an advisor in Georgia
“Our team has really liked the charts and were particularly pleased with the traditional IRA vs. 401k for a business and the QBI chart.”
— Scott, an advisor in Oregon
“fpPathfinder is a great tool! It mirrors much of what I've developed on my own for tax planning, life events, etc. However, it's been great to double-check my own work in those areas and also to motivate me to deepen my knowledge on other topics”
— Jonathan, an advisor in Colorado
“Thanks for having all of these so conveniently put together. We were working on many of these for years, but often could not find the time to keep them updated. This has been a blessing to our firm. ”
